Authors at MIT presents renowned science photographer Felice Frankel discussing her new book Envisioning Science: The Design and Craft of the Science Image. In this visually rich presentation Frankel provides deep background on the creation of scientific images and how they are used in major journals such as Nature and Science for covers and internal pages. She shows many examples of recent journal covers and discusses how beautiful imagery can be used to convey complex scientific and technological information. This is the 11th event from authors at MIT on MIT World. See the others by using the Video Finder, and choosing "authors at MIT" under All Hosts. authors at MIT is presented by the MIT Press Bookstore and the MIT Libraries. Frankel's talk was also hosted by the Technology and Culture Forum at MIT. Note to our viewers: With this addition, MIT World will take a brief hiatus. The web-weary editorial staff is taking a vacation, as not much happens lecture-wise in August. The web development team, however will be doing some site maintenance and some further enhancements to the new site and can best do that without having to dodge the editorial changes along the way. With more than 130 videos to watch, we encourage you to catch up on some that you missed. Rest assured we'll be back in mid-September for the start of our third year with new video material including 3 great lectures from Sloan Faculty from the "Back to the Classroom" series, and well as a new lecture from Steven Pinker as part of a School of Science series on the state of neuroscience. On behalf of everyone here at MIT World, we again thank you for your suggestions and feedback on the new site. See you in September!
